What’s Behind a Woman’s Indifference to Food, Clothing, and Makeup?
My mom once said:
“A woman’s life is never easy. Her heart belongs to her parents, her body belongs to her husband, and her time belongs to her children. She’s busy taking care of everything, and the only thing that’s truly hers is the wrinkles on her face.”
I didn’t understand the meaning of these words when I was young, but as I grew up, I realized how true they are.
Perhaps in life, our basic needs are food and clothing, and as a woman, we also need to buy makeup. However, I remember that my mom never had these requirements when I was very young. I used to think that women could do without these things, but as I grew older and met more women, I realized that many women do have these requirements.
When a woman has no requirements for food and clothing and doesn’t like to buy makeup, it’s actually a reflection of her mental state, which affects her behavior.
For the Sake of Family
In college, a teacher told us:
“When I was young, my mom would borrow money to pay for my tuition, and sometimes she would even cry. She never got to enjoy the finer things in life, nor did she ever buy makeup. Looking back, I feel sorry for her.”
A woman who has no requirements for food and clothing and doesn’t like to buy makeup isn’t because she doesn’t like these things, but because she’s doing it for her children and her family.
When you have the means, you’ll want more. When your basic needs are met, you’ll start to desire other things.
Women are the same. When everything is settled, we can start to focus on our appearance and dressing well.
For the sake of family, a woman must make sacrifices and prioritize her children and parents.
However, some women aren’t like this, and it’s because they’re more selfish. They know what they want, so they’ll leave something good for themselves.
Because You Can’t Afford It Even If You Want To
Lu Qi said:
“Marriage is a rebirth. The first life is predetermined, and the second life is when you take control. If you choose poorly, it’s your own doing. Heaven can forgive, but people can’t. Others get married to enjoy life, but some people get married and end up suffering, carrying a load of debt, and calling it love.”
However, some women push themselves into the fire, thinking they’ve chosen love, but end up with nothing.
In our surroundings, women who choose love don’t necessarily live well, but those who are cautious when choosing a partner tend to live better.
Whether it’s love or marriage, one must be rational. Otherwise, you’ll discover you can’t afford new clothes or makeup after getting married.
Because even if you have requirements, you can’t afford them, so sometimes you won’t even think about these things.
Actually, if you’re wealthy and your husband is very loving, you’ll attract people who like to dress up, because:
“Similar things gather together, and people of the same kind unite.”
You’ll attract people who are like you, and you’ll become more and more concerned with your appearance.
Sometimes women will envy others, thinking they have the time to dress up and receive love.
However, our choices limit our imagination, and we can only live a simple life, doing many things with a sense of responsibility.
Actually, a woman’s choice is very important. You must choose a loving man, one who is willing to spend money on you.
Losing Faith in the Other Half
Zhang Xiaoxian said:
“I invested my youth in him, and he succeeded, but maybe he’ll love another woman. He failed, and I’ll have nothing. Love is unreliable, and only a career can bring you a harvest. I want to have my own career.”
When a woman loses faith in the other half, she’ll also become indifferent and focus solely on investing in her own career.
Aunt Mao is a prime example. She used to like makeup and dressing up to please her partner, but after being betrayed, she was heartbroken. She eventually built her own career.
In fact, there’s a famous person on Commercial Street named Dong Mingzhu. She wasn’t lucky in marriage, but she didn’t give up. She worked hard and built her own career, and now her air conditioners are well-known in every household.
When a woman has no requirements for food and clothing and doesn’t like to buy makeup, it doesn’t mean she’s lost faith in life. Instead, she’s transformed her way of thinking, investing her energy into other things.
Someone said:
“When a man becomes more independent and responsible, it’s because he’s deeply in love and wants to give his woman a better future.
However, if a woman becomes more independent and pursues her goals, it’s because she’s gradually lost faith in love, so she wants to create her own future.”
Men and women think differently, so if a woman loses faith in her partner, her approach to doing things will also change.
A good marriage or love can make a man, but an unhappy marriage or love can also make a woman.
Many successful women in their careers have experienced setbacks in love.
The best attitude for a woman is to wake up every morning, face the sun, put on light makeup, wear the clothes she likes, and not envy or rely on anyone. She should strive to become the person she wants to be.
Happiness has no standard answer, and happiness is not just one path. The life you like is the best life, and the way you live is the best way.
As a woman, you should think more about yourself, even if the conditions aren’t ideal. This life is neither too long nor too short, and no matter what, you should strive to live your own life.
